Byobu

One of the most useful applications for any system administrator is an xterm multiplexor such as screen or
tmux. It allows for the execution of multiple shells in one terminal. To make some of the advanced multiplexor
features more user-friendly and provide some useful information about the system, the byobu package was created.
It acts as a wrapper to these programs. By default Byobu uses tmux (if installed) but this can be changed by the user.

Invoke it simply with:

byobu

Now bring up the configuration menu. By default this is done by pressing the F9 key. This will allow you to:

View the Help menu

Change Byobu's background color

Change Byobu's foreground color

Toggle status notifications

Change the key binding set

Change the escape sequence

Create new windows

Manage the default windows

Byobu currently does not launch at login (toggle on)

The key bindings determine such things as the escape sequence, new window, change window, etc. There
are two key binding sets to choose from f-keys and screen-escape-keys. If you wish to use the
original key bindings choose the none set.

byobu provides a menu which displays the Ubuntu release, processor information,
memory information, and the time and date. The effect is similar to a desktop menu.

Using the "Byobu currently does not launch at login (toggle on)" option will cause byobu
to be executed any time a terminal is opened. Changes made to byobu are on a per user basis, and will not
affect other users on the system.

One difference when using byobu is the scrollback mode. Press the
F7 key to enter scrollback mode. Scrollback mode allows you to navigate
past output using vi like commands. Here is a quick list of movement commands:
